Launched in late 2015, it stabilizes the footage horizontally, without sacrificing the thrill of dynamic motion in the video. Their original market was eyeing GoPro users, but the Wenpod X1 works with virtually any camera of the same shape/size./weight. Currently, the GoPro Hero 3, 3+, 4 and 5 are compatible, together with Xiami cameras, SJ4000, SJ7000 and so on.

Since it’s launch, the X1 became the reference within the sports bike market due to it’s affordable price, long battery life and simplicity. It also does not suffer interference from engine vibrations and the extremely strong forces generated due to acceleration, corners, speed reductions and so on. Lately, sailing boats are employing the X1 too as a robust weatherproof option to keep the footage leveled when the boat rolls.

The hardest bit accordingly to customers is to locate the right spot on your bike to install it. The automatic calibration can be completed with the a touch of a button. The weight parameter of your action camera will be recorded, and calibrated by the device in seconds. Just secure the camera to the X1 and mount it safely to your bike.
